Cell format

Hi

 

I have a 10 digit item No. I'd like to convert from beeing in one block to have the format of XXXX XXXX XX.

Ex. 0123456789  to  0123 4567 89

 

How do I do this?

    That is probably because you use a space as thousands separator. Try

     

    0000\ 0000\ 00

     

    or

     

    0000" "0000" "00

      It doesn't work for me

       

      I try to  change 4210218402 to be 4210 2184 02 and use 0000 0000 00

      In my cell it will look like below
